While I'm not offended (no reason I would be), what truly shocking is that anybody thought it was a good idea for an advertisement and that it would pass by without comment.
That said, while Asians may make fun of their eyes all of the time, blacks also make fun of their lips, noses, and hair all of the time. And yet I'm guessing it wouldn't be viewed as harmless for me to do an ad about a trip to South Africa where I puffed out my lips, pressed my nose flat and wore and afro wig.
